E-A-Ski - Old Days lyrics

In the old days everything was all cool I never did have to worry about a fool Matter of fact it was something like heaven And coming up it was already in my rap stance Therefore I didn't trip on life at all Wasn't ever knowing my mom was playing ball Had to fall with the kids around the block Raggin' on my pops or playin' cops All of this was part of my growing age Never could cut patches in older days Running through a store beggin' for everything And only coming out licking on candy rings I never thought it would all pa** me by But now I know how it feels when time fly So here I am checking out my old ways Laid back reminiscing up on the old days Yeah ral I know what you're talking about man We was just young kids back in the days, growing up in the hood It was kind of cool back then but now we can't even chill no more Yo, through the years I came up I realize people all around me didn't care much For a life it self, for the people And all the time I hear equal In the old days a new community You know a bomb between her, you and me Brothers went up to the park to shoot come hoops And now a days at the park they shooting you I don't know but its all a rage and man Right now all my old days are fading away No one really give a damn about the next And if so then my mom would be at rest But here I am with my pen to the notepad Trying to tell you how it was back in the past Everyone had help and a hand to lend But now we are all wrapped up in the same trend Go for self, always care less If the brother behind you fall on his chest We go against all of our old ways But it wasn't like that back in the old days Yeah ral I know what you're talking about man It was kind of cool back then in the old days you know what im saying How we used to play ball in the streets Go to the basketball courts shoot hoops at Calson High Man it was real tight back then but now Brothers don't know how to act now days They wanna do all these drive by's Jackin' fools for cars, yo it ain't cool no more The days of all the ways go back so damn far That I would have written a novel rap To explain everything I cam across In the days I now consider lost In time with the rest of history But what the hell that's the way it was mean't to be Things that come very well will always change Many rap albums never gon' stay the same Old days had a lot of disasters But I can recapture the moments of laughter Hang and game and no clownin' around Strollin' the town promoting hip hop sounds All of this played a major roll as I came up Next to this was cute girls and a haircut Like I said im checking out my old ways Laid back reminiscing up on the old days [E-A-Ski] Yeah ral, I know what you're talking about I can recall when the young ladies used to have a lil natural look You know what im saying, it used to be cool back in the day You know what im talking about C? [CMT] Yeah I know what you're talking about? Man back in the days women grew they own nails Now days they useing that curly press on crap man Ha that's weak, I'd take the old days any day
